I've brought this up before but wnat to revisit the situation.
My pantry is nice, although there is no a/c vent in the room and little insulation, two sides are on an outside wall. DH may have put insulation in the walls and I'm not sure about the ceiling.
There are many cans that have rust on the rims. I've opened a few of the cans and the product is fine. I wondering if I should dehydrate the corn, green beans and sweet peas that have rust on the can rims.
The rusty cans prompted me to start stocking the cans in some open book shelves in our front room (its a big room that was added to the front of our mobile home). This room also houses our wood stove. Those cans are all holding up fine, but the also get daily light on them (the pantry is kept dark, unless I'm in there). I had to move about 100 cans to the she shed because I ran out of room on those shelves. We get a lot of canned food from two sources of commodities that we just don't use every day, so I have a large stash of basics; corn, green beans, sweet peas, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. I'm seeing a steady supply of veggie soup this winter.
I do share some foods that we get from commodities that we would most likely never use. But the other stuff is part of my food stores.
As long as the cans are not bulged or otherwise not in good shape, I'm not giving those basics away.
